This collection has been digitally created from historic maps of Colchester County, Nova Scotia, circa 1874, that were the work of Ambrose Finson Church. The digital scans used to create this collection were created from original maps. While some sections of the maps still retain perfect detail, other map areas had become faded, cracked or damaged with time, even so, the detail remained good. Without loosing that accuracy & visual effect of the maps, some digital repair work was necessary to preserve certain details on some maps. Includes place name index.

There are many stories to tell of pioneers and the legacy they have left us. Those you will find in this book have been a labour of love to collect, enjoy, write, edit and record. There remain many more stories and histories that still need to be retold and are worthy of being recorded. I hope others will find the time to discover them, preserve them and have the pleasure of seeing them in print to share and remember - RC.

This work showcases two forgotten stories from Silas T. Rand, Baptist missionary who wanted to translate bibles into the Mi'Kmaq language and learned how to do so by recording the oral traditions of the Mi'Kmaq people, published in 'Legends of the Micmacs'. Peter Sanger uncovered two manuscripts in the Rand holdings of Acadia University, including the story of Little Thunder (dictated to Rand by Susan Barss in 1847) and a manuscript of stories told by someone we only know as old man Stevens. Rand's original book and these manuscripts are some of the earliest examples of indigenous Canadian literature recorded in the original language.
